"Believing Christians should look upon themselves as such a creative minority and ... espouse once again the best of its heritage, thereby being at the service of humankind at large." --Joseph Ratzinger

On the House floor today Nancy Pelosi sank to a new low in criticizing pro-life Congressmen behind the Protect Life Act, which simply ensures that no funds from Obamacare may be used to pay for abortion or abortion coverage and also reinstates conscience protections for pro-life medical workers. Check out her despicable verbiage.

How disgusting is that? But that's not even the worst part. Think about this. Pelosi is fighting to keep abortion funding in Obamacare after months of insisting that "there is no public funding of abortion."

I agree that bishops have a tough job. A conclusion that Pelosi is causing scandal, and has excommunicated herself, is not so tough at all. A public pronouncement of that fact by her bishop is required. So far, he's been found wanting in the execution of his duties.

The horrors of abortion and the destruction of the family will never stop until the Bishops stand against people like Nancy Pelosi. The laity cannot do this alone. All public officials who deny official Church teachings must be held to account publicly.

They could silence good priests that speak out against homosexuality--but this raving woman gets by with murder and not a peep from the cowardly bishops. She should be public excommunicated to prove to the faithful the error of her thinking. It seems the bishops,along with Pelosi--and standing side by side-- will have a lot to answer for at the Last Judgment.

When you are assembled and my spirit is present, with the power of our Lord Jesus, you are to deliver this woman to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that her spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be new dough as you really are unleavened.1Corithians 5:4-7

It would truly be for her own good and the good of the whole Church. Scandal has to stop. She has excommunicated herself. Does she even have nerve enough to show up for Mass?

Nancy Pelosi has put herself another step closer to hell. She knows exactly what she is doing. She applauds the tossing of unborn babies into the Valley of Gehenna. Heaven and earth are crying out to end the abomination of abortion and she has sided with the culture of death. How many Mozarts, how many Einsteins and Emily Dickinsons have been lost because a selfish generation has promoted the destruction of its posterity?

Why doesn't her bishop simply say that she is in grave danger of cutting herself off from the Church, and briefly list the reasons? That would certainly get her attention, and the attention of the media. I for one would love to hear her response.

Back in 2008, then-Speaker Pelosi publicly claimed that the Church hasbeen inconsistent over the centuries in its views on abortion. She insisted that she is a 'devout, practicing Catholic' and her pro-abortion record changes nothing in that regard. Several bishops spoke out then to point out that what she said was, in fact, wrong.

At that time His Excellency George Neiderauer, the Archbishop of SanFrancisco and Mrs. Pelosi's ordinary, issued an invitation to Madame Speaker to come and chat about her novel and publicly expressed viewson abortion and the Church. Pelosi agreed to the meeting, but a date was never set as she was so very, very busy.

And so here we are, three years later. I certainly hope that His Excellency hasn't been waiting by the phone for her to call, because itseems pretty clear he's been blown off, and rather publicly at that.Her behavior certainly hasn't changed in the meantime.

This whole sorry spectacle only tells me that our bishops, on the whole, can't be bothered to publicly address the issue of the publicscandal of the career of Mrs. Pelosi. What would it take for someonelike her to be denied Communion? Does she have to publiclysacrifice babies to Moloch on the floor of the House and broadcastit on C-SPAN?

Please, please let's stop ripping at the Bishops, or even Pelosi for that matter, and instead do what pleases Jesus: Pray, fast, sacrifice. He doesn't bless criticizing others (even if they deserve it). So forgive me if I sound like I'm on a high horse (because this outrages me as much as anyone!) but I think we should all stop the gossiping/ripping and pray, fast, sacrifice, and get involved actively in opposing these things. Also, even if one thinks they are wrong, it is totally improper and uncatholic to judge and condemn bishops. Period. Ask St Padre Pio, who knew what it was to be treated badly by one!!

PPS - not that we shouldn't expose the hypocrisy of Pelosi - I just mean that our comments are sometimes beyond what is needed for that - it's just venting - we can use that time to PRAY or write letters to Congress!!

I agree...when is her bishop going to take a stand and remove her from the Church? I hesitate to use the word courageous, because it should not be an issue of courage. It should be an issue of principle. Representative Pelosi is not a Catholic and it is time to take the gloves off and expose her for what she is: a cold, vindictive, MURDERER.
